أعمال 15: 7- 21
| 15:7 | And after a great contention had taken place, Peter rose up and said to them: "الإخوة النبلاء, you know that, in recent days, God has chosen from among us, by my mouth, Gentiles to hear the word of the Gospel and to believe. |
| 15:8 | And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us. |
| 15:9 | And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. |
| 15:10 | فالآن, why do you tempt God to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? |
| 15:11 | But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.” |
| 15:12 | Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them. |
| 15:13 | And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: "الإخوة النبلاء, listen to me. |
| 15:14 | Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name. |
| 15:15 | And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, تماما كما هو مكتوب: |
| 15:16 | ‘After these things, I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. And I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up, |
| 15:17 | so that the rest of men may seek the Lord, along with all the nations over whom my name has been invoked, يقول الرب, who does these things.’ |
| 15:18 | To the Lord, his own work has been known from eternity. |
| 15:19 | و لهذا, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed, |
| 15:20 | but instead that we write to them, that they should keep themselves from the defilement of idols, and from fornication, and from whatever has been suffocated, and from blood. |
| 15:21 | For Moses, from ancient times, has had in each city those who preach him in the synagogues, where he is read on every Sabbath.” |
